>>100911546They needed some instance of a previous Butterfly queen sperging out and wrecking the kingdom if they wanted to justify it through "well anyone with that much power could potentially cause that much damage, not just her"
Except as far as we know every prior queen has managed to keep her shit together, with the most incompetent being an invalid (?) who drew pictures of balls. And so maybe the argument there is "then Meteora should've been a queen," but then things operated just fine without her and she and Eclipsa had nothing to do with Star pushing for monsters' rights, so that kind of progress would've happened on its own anyway.
Shastacan wasn't obligated to raise the result of his wife cucking him + since it seems Meteora was taken out of the temple where she would've been raised, she was never going to be queen in the first place if the MHC hadn't crystallized her parents.
